Title: Splitting Hairs RE PC Power
Post by: JCKnife on November 23, 2004, 01:09:48 pm
Simple question: what games will NOT run on a 3 GHz P4 with HT tech and 512 MB,

but WILL run on a 3.2 GHz P4 with the same memory?


I'm seeing a very good deal on the former system on Dell, whereas I had been holding out hope for the latter.

Please refrain from "why don't you just use XXXX instead?" I just wanna know about this difference above. Thanks much.

95% of the CHD games won't run, and .5% of the rest of the games (such as Cruisin' USA and the same type).

I assume you're asking about Mame, right?

yeah, that's right.

So, for example, would NFL Blitz run on Either of these?

LOL!!! Fantastic!

..ahem...

More power doesn't mean you can run "everything"... in some cases the emulation just isn't done enough yet.

NFL Blitz and a couple other games (like Carnevil, Tekken, etc...) are real killers.

Which sucks.

My cab is a 2ghz, and that should CRUSH Blitz.  :P

Nope.  The emulation, IIRC, is perfect, but there isn't a machine fast enough (yet) that will do it.

Oh, and I changed my avatar again, you should refresh your caches!

In that case I'll bite the bullet on the 3.0 GHz. Thanks, guys--this PC is $150 less than I budgeted, so the project is in the black!
